Unusually, Cristiano Ronaldo’s agent was forced to speak publicly about the “happiness” of the Portuguese star in Manchester United, which a Spanish newspaper considered a disturbing statement.
Interval “mark“Jorge Mendes’ statement comes at a time when the Red Devils have become incoherent and the finger is pointed at Ronaldo.
“Cristiano Ronaldo is very happy at Manchester United,” Mendes explained in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.
The newspaper said that it did not happen that Ronaldo was the target of criticism, as is the case now.
While playing in Real Madrid, the royal team experienced bad periods, but no one dared to blame Ronaldo, according to the newspaper.
Mendes did not speak publicly unless there was a new contract being discussed or in an attempt to force clubs to improve Ronaldo’s terms, according to the newspaper, and “Marca” adds that Mendes’s talk now may mean that he is trying to prevent United from selling Ronaldo.
According to the newspaper, no club wants to pay Ronaldo’s big salary and being at United keeps the Portuguese in the spotlight.
And on Monday, Wolverhampton surprised its host Manchester United and dropped it at Old Trafford with a clean goal for the first time in 42 years, at the end of the twenty-first stage of the English Football League.
